The Census Bureau has created a special subset file from the
1990 Census of Population and Housing data designed to meet the needs
of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and affirmative action planning.
It contains detailed 1990 Census data dealing with occupation and
educational attainment for the civilian labor force, various racial
groups, and the Hispanic population. The file consists of four
tabulations of the United States civilian labor force. They present EEO
data similar to those in the CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1990
[UNITED STATES]: EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (EEO) FILE (ICPSR 9929),
but are expanded to include occupation data by education level,
industry group, and earnings. Total population and unemployment data
are also available. They are referred to as Tables P1-P4. Table P1
lists occupation by education by sex by race and Hispanic origin. Table
P2 lists occupation by earnings by sex by race and Hispanic origin.
Table P3 lists occupation by industry by sex by race and Hispanic
origin. Table P4 lists population and unemployment by sex by race and
Hispanic origin. The collection includes four United States files and
51 separate files, one for each state and Washington, DC. Each state
file contains statistics for the state, each county, Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs), and places with a population of
50,000 or more.

Data Collection Notes:

The data in each file are presented in a collapsed
fashion. That is, table cells with no data are not shown. When reading
the summary levels in position 2 of the data dictionary, it is
important to recognize that the dashes separate the individual
hierarchies, while slashes separate different types of geography within
the same hierarchy.

Methodology

Sample:
The data contained in this file are based on the long form
questionnaire for the 1990 Census. This form was administered to
approximately 17 percent of the housing units nationwide using a
variable-rate sampling method based on geographic location and
population.

Data Source:
